They do? That seems rather pointless, yes?

[It's like trying to go off a linear path when you have no map to point you elsewhere.]

[tradesecret]

Mmm. Not everyone things logically or pragmatically, but I would say a fair majority of Future is Now thinks as you do.

It might be too early to have an opinion, but I think it's a good fit.

[justpure]

That's nice to know.

[Less of a chance for illogical actions until the arguing starts]

Yes... But why would it change later when there is but a linear, unmoving path ahead?

[tradesecret]

People with no frame of reference tend to be more receptive to their environment. Memories can sometimes change perspectives and make people more resistant to things that oppose their principles.

[justpure]

Ah... I hadn't thought of that.

[True, it is possible to get memories, but he's only been here for like a day... Is it too soon? Should he save up a little more just in case?]

[tradesecret]

[ save for scar removal when death inevitably happens. ]

To be fair, I don't think most people do, but I've observed the culture shock experienced by those with all their memories here. In some ways, it seems like a handicap.

Ah, which isn't to suggest that people shouldn't purchase memories... I've learned some interesting skills from them.

[justpure]

[Why buy scar removal when you cover your face in front of the cameras?]

Hm... Both points sound valid... I'll have to consider them.

[There is one person with her memories in tact, and she says she came from Hell... So...]

[tradesecret]

[ because SensitIV could open those wounds and then you'll be in trouble ]

One of your unitmates could be a good resource. Miss Furudo has all her memories.

[justpure]

[... OH.]

As she had told me. Apperently there's an incentive for her, something she called graduation? It's a bit early for me to be thinking of such a thing, but I do know of it.

[tradesecret]

Leaving graduation aside, did memories seem like something of interest to you?

[justpure]

... Well.

[He hasn't thought too hard about those. He glances at his phone for a moment.]

I woke up with no identity and decided to find a new one if I was going to be an idol. Though, even if reclaiming my old memories would be counterintuitive to that goal, I can't help but be curious about my past.

... For now, I suppose I'll wait a few days before I buy one.
